Google_Now_Wallpaper

 

For those of you longing to bring the Google Now wallpapers to any homescreen, developer Bongoman has created a live wallpaper app that allows you to do just that. While it is technically a live wallpaper, the only time it changes is when switching from day to night, which means virtually no battery drain. The app allows you to flip through Google Now-esque cards and then simply tap to apply the desired wallpaper. All the locations included in Google Now are here and there’s even a separate app for those of you with an HD display. Both versions of Google Now Wallpapers are available from the Play Store free of charge. Hit the break for a slideshow and Play Store links.

Live wallpapers are one of the most unique features to Android, and for good reason. Sometimes still pictures get a little boring, so why not spice your home screen up with something flashy and interactive? We’re going to go over a few of the best live wallpapers available for your device in this guide.

As a disclaimer, live wallpapers will likely drain your battery a bit more than a static wallpaper, and some phones can get a bit bogged down by the more intense wallpapers.

Toxic Bakery’s “Cube Complex” Live Wallpaper Review (Video)

I’m a huge fan of cool Live Wallpapers as you may already know from  some of my previous posts.  And I’m not just saying I’m a huge fan because it’s something the iPhone can’t do, ok, well maybe :) .  In Android’s infancy it was difficult to run a complex or complicated Live Wallpaper on your device simply because of the hardware and software limitations.  Those days have long been gone and with today’s new innovative hardware and all of our dual-core and quad-core beasts with crazy GPU’s hitting the industry, we’re in for a treat when it comes to cool complex Live Wallpapers.  Speaking of “complex”, I’ll take this opportunity for a segway and introduce one of the coolest Live Wallpapers I’ve seen in the Play Store in quite some time.  Developer Toxic Bakery has brought to Android Cube Complex LWP, a pretty cool live wallpaper that really isn’t all that complex at all when you think about it.  And while I wouldn’t want the dev baking my wedding cake, they make one heck of a cool live wallpaper.  I’ve had the pleasure of running this on my T-Mobile Galaxy S II which has a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU by Qualcomm.  Not to mention the application is well optimized for most devices so it ran pretty smooth on mine.   » Read the rest

Radiant Particles: One of the Coolest Live Wallpapers I Have Ever Used [Video]

Live wallpapers are a dime a dozen these days and many of them simply just fall flat. I am usually not even a big fan of them, especially not the “particle” ones that all do pretty much the exact same thing. That was until I tried Radiant Particles, the particle live wallpaper that actually kicks ass.

The $1.59 paid version of this live wallpaper allows you to customize up to 50,000 tiny particles, altering their shape, color, movement and touch-response actions. Tap or swipe your screen and watch the particles swirl behind your touch and then slowly dissipate on their own. There is even an auto motion feature that makes the particles move by themselves without requiring your touch interaction. If you are ready to turn the live wallpaper off to save on battery, just double tap the screen and freeze all particle movement.

The free version is definitely a good place to start to see if this is an app that you will like. You won’t get all the cool options but you do get a choice of either blue or orange particles with a black background and either version works on both tablets and smartphones. I am pretty confident that once you check out the free version you will want to unlock all the possibilities of the paid version so you can tweak it to your liking. Jump past the break for a short demo video and download links, you wont want to miss out on this one! » Read the rest

If it’s one thing I love the most about Android, it would have to be the ability to run Live Wallpapers.  Live Wallpapers are a dime a dozen on the Android Market but it’s really rare to find a good serene one that brings nothing but tranquility when you need it most. The Tree Of Life Life Wallpaper for Android offers just that, a serene atmosphere no matter what time of day it is.  The background is truly stunning and graphics are pleasure to stare at.  The application follows you in real time so when it’s daytime, you’ll see a great sunrise in the morning, its normal course throughout the day followed by a truly beautiful sunset in the evening.

If you have your heart set on either one or the other you can change the settings to constantly stay in night mode or day.  Night mode offers you a beautiful array of lively fireflies and butterflies which are responsive to the touch.  And whether day or night, you’ll always be able to tell the time with the cool fluffy cloud clock.  In addition to the night life, you can check out the cool northern lights display which gleams across the sky and can easily be tweaked for even more effects.  The application will run you $1.04 in the Android Market and is well worth the change.  Check out some of the screen shots below as well as a hands-on video.  Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments below.   » Read the rest
